License agreement on Art Station and New Grounds etc

[JosephCow]

Hi Joseph and thanks for replying.  You're right of course — getting all that exposure is a pretty fair trade.  As mentioned it's probably just to cover their asses and protect them from lawsuits.   Maybe Facebook only takes images of a certain size and they have to crop some images to upload there.

Their agreement does grant them a perpetual license though — and the definition of that is 'never ending, FOREVER.'

Back in the day, Jason M over at ConceptArt had a long post saying they would NEVER use anyone's image for any purpose without permission and once you deleted any or your account all your images were also removed from their servers.  I liked that.

BTW — I looked at your AS page and the fertility idol — and NOW I'M PREGNANT — SO WE NEED TO TALK.  

Hmmm yeah I guess that is what perpetual means. Not a huge fan of that if it's how it works, but I still do want to post stuff on Artstation. I still think it's a net positive because at least if my image does start circulating around without credit, people could find it on artstation or google search, or search my name in the signature and come across my work easily. And it's a good hub. You know, you can always upload just to your own site, but it's not going to get the same traffic or interaction with other people. Not that I am currently getting any attention on there, but still :P

And thanks, but you'll have get on Maury because I ain't payin child support unless you got proof!
